Abstract:
In this chapter, we discuss the introduction of digitality in historical education. It is argued that digitality should be related to the basic objectives set by Didactics of History which are on the one hand critical citizenship and on the other hand historical thinking. The decisive role of history and the critical thinking it forms for the students' treatment of the false, biased, manipulative or even oversimplified versions of the past and the handling of the exuberant and contradictory digital reality is highlighted. The comparative advantages of digital history education are reported, relevant pedagogical practices are categorized, and examples of the inclusion of instructional objectives in digital history websites are given. Finally, we examine the recent perspectives of digital history education and we summarize them in the following directions: (a) the transformation of digital resources into pedagogical tools, (b) the opening of the classroom to learning communities, (c) the change of the position of students from consumers to producers of historical content and (d) the history of technology as an object of historical study.
